Violating the Columbus Scale---MeetIDg O
s the Interstate Board.


CHICAGO, May 19.-The Interstate
Board of Arbitration and Cancellation, of
the miners and operators in bituminous
coal, met yesterday in this city.
The Board represents the miners and
operators of the bituminous coal fields in
the States of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana
and Illinois
1t was organized two years ago, in order
to fix rates of wages for year in advance
for each of the States represented, and to
create good feeling between employers and
employees and TO prevent strikes.
At meeting in Columbus on the 4th
inst, a resolution was adopted to the
effect that the conditions of the scale as
contemplated by the February Convention,
strictly construed, had not been subStan-
tally complied with, but so much progress
had been made toward the fulfillment OF
its requirments and the outlook for a full
compliance at an early date being good,
additional time WAS granted and it was
declared that five cents per ton advance
Ss'0uld take effect May and remain in
force as originally intended.
This resolution was the subject of debate
yesterday, the discussion occupying the
whole day. Northern Illinois operators
opposed the enforcement of the resolutions
at this time, because, they claimed, the
operators in Central and Southern Illinois
had not lived up to the agreement. Ope-
rators from the Southern division of Hi,
nois were also hard in opposition TO the en-,
iorcement of the resolutions. Tie follow.
ing resolution was then adopted:
RsSOlred, That the resolution passed al
the meeting of the Board at Columbus, o..
May 4, hold good during the month o
May, but should the conditions of the
scale adopted ut the Interstate Conven.
tiOn not be complied with, according to
the Interpretation of the Illinois operators
by the 2lst day Of June next, the Board
shall meet and declare that all parties in
terested shall be relieved from their obliga
tiOns.
This closed the proceedings and left
matters in rather chaotic state. Rep
resentatives from Eastern States say the
action of the Illinois operators is arbi
trary aud uncalled for, and, if persisted
in, may lead again to decentralization il
prices, cutting down of wages and re
newal of strikes.

"Don't Marry Him" !

HE is such tickle, inconstant fellow,

Esther's friends when they heard of her
engagement to young man who bore the
reputation of being a sad flirt. Esther,
however, knew that her lover had good
qualities and she was willing to take the
risk. In nine cases out of ten it would
have proved mistake; but Esther was an
uncommon girl and to every ones surprise
Fred made model husband. How was it?
Well, Esther had a cheerful, sunny
temper and great deal of tact. Then she
enjoyed perfect health and was always so
sweet, neat and wholesome that Fred
found his own home more
pleasant, and his own wife more
agreeable, than any other being.
As the year passed and he saw other women
of Esther's age grow sickly, faded and
querulous, he realized more and more that
he had "a jewel of wife" Good health
was half the secret of Esther's success.
She retained her vitality and good looks.

The Modern Funeral.

WASHINGTON, May ia movement IS
on foot among the clergymen of this city to
bring about number of reforms in the
management Of funerals.
1t is designed to check extravaganza,
display and bad taste; to insist upon sani-
tary precautions now disregarded and to
bring about other changes. The points at
issue are numerous and varied.
The clergy are disposed to regard the
modern funeral as partaking too much OF
the nature of an undertaker's advertise
ment, and to have lost its impressive and
appropriate character and teachings. Some
of the matters sought to reform are the
great expense and the exposure of features
of the dead and public farewells to the
dead, Sunday funerals, etc.

He Says the Commission is Pursuing a
Wrong Course in It's Investigation.
New YORK, May l9.-Whcn the Pacific
Railway Commission got to work this
morning, Jay Gould resumed the witness
stand and the inquSition was resumed by
Commissioner Anderson.
Mr.. Gould testified that the provisions
of the Consolidated Mortgage Trust were
strictly complied with by the trustees,
and the bonds issued as therein provided.
Mr.. Gould was shown a transcript of the
transactions in the Consolidated bonds fur
nished by the Union Pacific Company
which would seem TO indicate that the
trustees had not followed the trust Mr..
Gould said that was Union Pacific ac-
count of which lie knew nuthing-that
the true way to yet ut the matter was to
examine the accounts of the trustees kept
by Mr.. Calct, who could be got to make
the necessary explanation.
"The trustees only charged the amounts
named in the mortgage, the accounts you
SHOW are of negotiations with the Union
Pacific and they could get their own prices.
You will find that the accounts of the
trustees will balance with the mortgage
Maxwell and Graves, TO whom many of
these bonds were issued, were the brokers
of n st. Louis party who had refused to
convert his bonds. My explanation Of
the transactions with these brokers is
that the Union Pacific first acquired
title in the bonds from the trustees and
then dispose of them. The provisions of
the mortgage prohibit the acquirment of
the bonds of the trust of the Kansas Pa
citic, and the trustees would certainly
treat the successor company, the Union
Pacific, as though it were the Kansas Pa
ciiic Where the Commission is mixed up
is that it is trying to get at the dealings of
the trustees through a set of accounts of
the Union Pacific which the trustees had
nothing to do with"
